Theoretical perspectives
Fundamental concepts from ecosystem dynamics and community ecology serve as the foundation for my study effort. Fundamentally, the theory aims to clarify the complex link that exists between temperature and…
Data Collection
My field data collection activities planned to capture the intricate interplay between temperature and fungal abundance after selecting the site for my research area. I recorded the temperature of the…
Continued Observations
I am using observation as my method of collecting data. As I’m reading other blog posts I see that several other people are doing a very similar experiment to see…
Ongoing Field Observation
I have planned to study the Green Ash ornamental trees along a small section of around 400 meters on Cambridge Street. The street has a total of 29 trees when…
Design Reflection
My initial data collection was conducted through observational methods. However, it became apparent that the data obtained contained inherent biases. In response, I devised a novel approach to ensure the…
Blog post 4.
The three sampling strategies despite having a difference in the values that they posted for the population of the vegetation. They all intersected in the idea that some plants are…
Sources of Scientific Info
a) The article was taken from University of Manitoba Libraries and is Limm, E. B., Simonin, K. A., Bothman, A. G., & Dawson, T. E. (2009). Foliar water uptake: a…
Post 9: Field Research Reflections
Overall, I really enjoyed my time spent designing my experiment and collecting my data at the creek. One of the most notable aspects of this field research has been encountering…
Post 8: Tables and Graphs
The figure I created shows the Index of Relative Abundance of Fish in Fullerton Creek by Month Sampled. The x-axis represents the Index of Relative Abundance, while the y-axis displays…
Post 7: Theoretical Perspectives
The theoretical basis for this experiment lies in the understanding of how ecological systems, particularly aquatic ecosystems like Fullerton Creek, are influenced by environmental factors such as large rainfall events…
